You claimed the Lakers were more stacked than the Heat, and myself and a bulls can called you on it..

Nobody here is saying Kobe would replicate Lebron's numbers if playing for the HEAT

And my original reply was to a Bean fan who claimed the Heat were the most stacked team ever.

The original claim here was that Lebron is only putting up his unreal efficiency because of his teammates somehow. So I'm curious if the only reason Lebron is playing at the level he is, would another supposedly great player be able to do the same?

I mean if the team is the only reason, other players should be able to do it right?

He wouldnt average this high.His game benefits from the spacing he gets, CHandler wont space the floor to him with the Knicks.
Lebron James has tremendous amount of help, and his statistics are getting pretty much overrated.

lol.

It helps that he has teammates to draw the defense, no doubt. Also the shooters that he has. But LBJ have average a high FG% with a person that clogs that paint before with Shaq and Joel Anthony too.

The reason why he is averaging a high FG% too is because he is just better than he ever have been. He has an improve post game, mid range game, 3pt shot, and he is probably the GOAT perimeter player at finishing. The dude is averaging 79.0% at the rim.

Tyson Chandler who is leading the league in FG% don't have that %. His is 70%

D.Howard never had that % at the rim in his career. And LBJ is taking more shots at the rim than Howard is this year.

LBJ probably lead the league at with the attempts and rim percentage ratio. A big part of the reason is transitional buckets, but whenever he gets to the rim in half court, it seems to always make it.

U give Kobe big men in the post, u give Nash players to PNR, catch and shoot, u give Dwight shooters for him to pass out.

LeBron is not what u would refer to as great when it comes to shooting, but when u know your best player is best when he's attacking the rim, and dishing out, why clog the paint with 2 7footers. Teams surround their best guys with others guys who complement them. Knowing Wade and LeBron are best attacking the basket the rightful way is to give them shooters to space the floor, for them to kick out to.
I reckon the Heat would be build differently if Kobe instead of Wade was on the Heat, likewise Lakers if LeBron was playing in LA. nonetheless i think most of us can agree that this Heat team is actually built with flaws, and is mostly living base on their top players' talents.

different players function differently on different teams. Perhaps what is why a team may not be great when u just throw any 2 elite players together.

Then when a player is not on a stacked team, and lose consistently people call them career losers. When they play on stacked team and win people say they can't win without a stacked team. It's not their fault how the organisation build their teams, why would they wait till they are old and shaky then go join a contender while people call them shelf of themselves. If anything, being able to lead a stacked team, with many other all-stars and good players, now that's what commendable.

I like how he gets praised for "only taking the shots he can make" as Spoelstra put it. But, you're only afforded that luxury when you have other reliable options on the floor that are doing the same thing. Wade and Bosh are only taking the shots they can make, and all 3 have been crazy efficient lately.

What they're doing offensively is very fun right now during this stretch.

On the other hand if Lebron was only taking the shots he could make in Cleveland...wouldn't be pretty.
